SUGAR BEET GROWING. Experts Analyse Specimens from Every County In issuuri. Columbia, Nov. 1. Prof.

H. Waters, director of the Missouri agri cultural experiment station, and Dr. Paul Schwartzer, chemist, have been for several weeks analyzing specimens of beets from every county in the state, and Saturday night they gave out the result Prof. Vaters said while the per cent of sugar was larger than expected he was not prepared to state whether the manufacture of sugar from the Missouri beet would be a suc cess. Fifty-three samples out of 124 have shown a per cent tbat would be profitable for manufacturing purposes.

but some of the most fertile counties have sent samples showing a very low per cent of sugar. This may be due to the fact that the beets grew too large under the cultivation followed by the experimenters. MET DEATH LIKE A STOIC John Walks Executed for the Murder of Jones Oeer. Chelsea, Nov. 1.

The secret service officers learned that Houghton's mistress, who had been staying in Denver for three' weeks, had changed three S100 bills, and as the $14,000 stolen was all in S100 bills they at once made ar rangements for Houghton's arrest The woman was at first taken into cus tody and her statements went to veri fy the opinions of the officers.

Bradstreet's report says: General trade retains most of the features of a week with a continued check to tbe movement of staple merchandise. At larger eastern and oentral western centers sales of seasonable goods have not equaled expectations and at none of these points has the volume of business Increased. At Chicago, St Louis, Baltimore, New York and Providence there has been a decrease la the volume of business in some lines, ve In part to unseasonable weather and In some Instances to the continued quarantine of yellow fever districts. Some jobbers at cities, which supply southern merchants, have delayed sending out travelers and in instances have called travelers home. Mercantile collections are slower, filling in orders are small and more Infrequent and business in staple lines for the latter half of October, aside from that in wools and metals, has been somewhat dlHappolnting.

The northwest continues to make relatively more favorable reports as to trade, although at Milwaukee and Minneapolis mild weather bas checked distribution. Nearly all southern cities, except a few in Texas. Arkansas and Georgia, continue to feel the influence of the yellow fever quarantine, the extremely low price of oottoa and delayed collections. Consumption of Iron and steel continues heavy, but mills refuse orders for 189H delivery. In the belief that the cost of making Iron and steel will be higher.

Woolen goods continue Arm and In fair de mand with an upward tendency, but cotton fabrics are weak and the market is heavily stocked.

S. T. Rorer tells how a family of eight persons catf be fed and well fed at the aggregate cost of ten dollars a week. She presents a bill of fare for each meal, with suggestions for change ing and varying them, and details how to prepare the main dishes that enter Into her economical plan of supplying the family table. "To carry out the scheme," she says, -articles must be purchased economically, and no waste permittted.

A table which, is supplied for a family of eight for ten dollars a week must, of necessity be plain, but it maj1, at the same time, not lack for variety or wholesonieness. Sweetmeats and rich desserts must be counted only as occosional luxuries, and 'company dishes must be omitted altogether. Meat, the most expensive food item, may be purchased in a mach larger quantity than is needed for a single meal, and utilized French fashion. The poor and middle classes of this country must learn more about the food value of the legumens, more about the proper propartion of food, and last, but not least, more about the proper combinations of food. Avoid the buying of steaks, roasts and chops each week.

It is an expensive household indeed which has no repertoire of cheaper dishes. A beefs heart or a braised calif's liver makes an excellent and economical chantre. Broiled sheep's kidnej-s, with a little bacon, give a good breakfast at a cost of ten cents. Smothered beef, which may be made from the tough end of the rump steak, is appetizing, and only costs half the price of an equal food-value of tenderloin steak. "The housekeeper should go to mark et early and buy only the best materials.

They keep longer and go farther than the inferior ones. Perishable food should be bought in email quantities two or three times a week. Groceries enough to last a month should be laid In. Canned goods and conserved sweetj should be bought Sjparingly. Meat always a most expensive article, and not a particle of it should be allowed to go to waste Ladies Home Journal.

Work and Projects or the A irrirultnral Department fenmraarized. Washington, Nov.

O. Secretary Wilson has presented his report to the president, reviewing the operations of the department of agriculture for the past year. The most important recommendation made by him is one that agents for the department should be stationed at each of the important American embassies for the colieetion of information of interest to American farmers. Referring to this subject, he says: "We are endeavoring to get information from foreign countries with which we compete in the markets of the world regarding crops and prices. We are also taking steps to ascertain what crops are grown on different thermal lines, so that seeds and plants may intelligently be brought to this country to assist in the diversification of our crops and add to their variety.

There is necessity for American agents in every foreign country to which we send representatives who have had education in the sciences relating to agriculture. The agricultural colleges endowed by congress are educating along these lines." The secretary recommends an increase in the appropriations in aid of the bureau of animal industry, of the weather bureau and publication offices. He thinks the department should be enabled to place the results of important operations at agricultural colleges before the entire "so tbat the farmers of each state may get the result of the good work done in other states." He refers to the efforts of the department to extend tbe foreign markets for American dairy and live stock products, which he thinks can be done by making the foreigners familiar with them. He says the policy in the future will be to "encourage the introduction of such seeds as will enable onr people to diversify their crops and keep money at home that is now sent abroad to buy what the United States should produce." The most important work in which the animal industry bureau has been engaged is, he says, that looking to the destruction of the cattle tick, for which it is believed that an agent has been found in a petroleum product known as paraffine oil, in which infected cattle are dipped. The extension of the meat inspection work to abattoirs engaged in interstate business is recommended, as is the continuance of the inspection of export animals, in order to maintain the market which has been secured for them in other countries.

The secretary criticises the present system of crop reporting. He says it is extremely cumbersome, and that instead of conducing to completeness and accuracy, it would appear, from the report of the statistician, to in some measure defeat its own object by its own unwieldiness, and by the fact that the indefinite multiplication of crop reporters weakens tbe sense of individual responsibility. "I strongly favor the making of some pecuniary acknowledgment of the service of a carefully selected corps of correspondents, selected mainly in the principal agricultural states, and that reliance be placed upon the state statistical agents for information regarding the states agricultural importance." He recommends the employment of a principal statistical agent in each state. BOGUS DOLLARS. Fine Counterfeit Silver Dollars Circulating In St.

Imia. St. Louis, Nov. 1. Counterfeit silver dollars pf greater weight and fineness than those turned out from Uncle Sam's mints are the latest in the counterfeiter's art, and St Louis is the first city to suffer from them.

For the last week St Louis bank tellers have been accepting the counterfeits in question without hesitation. It was only when they reached the St Louis sub-treasury that their spurious character was detected. United States Treasurer Small sent one to the director of the mint for assay. He received a reply in which the statement was made that although the assay had not been completed, there was no doubt that there was more pure silver in the counterfeit than in a genuine coin, and that its fineness exceeded that of the genuine. According to CoL Small the coins weigh 13X grains more than the genuine, which weighs 412X grains.

Its fineness is 94 per cent, while that of the genuine is but 90 per cent. ARMY AN NAVY 1 0 N. Cnl, Heavy Shindies Re-Kleeted President Itext Meeting- at Baltimore. Kansas Citt, Oct 30. The annual meeting of the national corps of the Army and Navy nnion closed yesterday.

A'DAMS TALKS WITH GftX. OTIS. Dexvee, CoL, Oct 30. The game warden's office yesterday received the follow ing dispatch, dated October 28, from Game Warden Little, at Meeker: "Indians reported gathering in large numbers on the Colorado side of the Blue mountains. Settlers greatly alarmed.

Affairs look very threaten ing." Immediately upon the receipt of the dispatch, tov. Adams called upon Gen. Otis and held a consul tation on what to do in the emergency. From the tenor of the dispatch it appears that the Utes left in Utah are rushing eastward to the assistance of their brethren. At first the accounts received from the Ute outbreak were confusing and tended to show that the wardens were fired upon by the Indians.

Later develop ments, however, go to show that the game wardens were the aggressors. Brig. Gen. Otis received from the commanding officer at Fort Du chesne the following report from Capt Wright who is in charge of the cavalry sent in pursuit of the Indians, dated Jansen, Utah, October 23. "Frank ParieL Uintah Indian, states that five Indians were in party attacked by 25 game wardens near Bear river four days ago.

Two bucks were' killed; two squaws wounded. Wardens caught one Indian a little distance from camp and told him they were going to kill bim. Indians did not understand English. Wardens attacked them in camp. Think one war den killed." The commanding ofiicer at Fort Duchesne further reports that there is no excitement on the reserva tion.

Gem Otis says the trouble in Eoutt county will soon end, as the troops will escort the Indians back to their reservation. CARR PLEADS GUILTY.

Ilolman, Jr the son of the inventor, with four coaches, started from Winslow Junction for Cape May, a distance of 56 1-10 miles. The distance was covered in 55 minutes. In this run several spurts were made, and for a distance of two miles at one place the passengers claim that a epeed of 104 miles an hour was reached.

The engine, which weigh 72 tons, made two trials over a measured mile of track, starting three miles north of the mile. It went over the measured mile in the first trial in 44 3-5 seconds and in the second trial in 42 seconds. Unfortunately for the exhibitors, there were two curves in the track on which the start was made and one at the other end of tbe measured mile, which caused a loss of at least two or three seconds. This is the locomotive whose fonr drivers are set on two small wheels, anr! these in turn upon three others, which rest upon the track. They are all propelled by friction and not by cog.

TIenry George, author of "Progress and Poverty'" and candidate of the Thomas Jefferson democracy for mayor of New York, died at 4:10 o'clock yesterday morning in Union Square hotel, of cerebral apoplexy.

In his great Cooper union speech, accepting the nomination for mayor, less than a month ago, he said: "I'll make this race if it costs me my life. This is a call to duty, and as a good citizen I have no right to disregard it on account of mere personal consideration." Yesterday the cheers of the workers were suddenly changed to sighs, for, true to his words, Henry George, the apostle of the rights of man, died as he wished to die in har- 1 'WWVil HENRY GEOBGK. ness fighting for the cause toward the close of the greatest municipal political contest the world has ever seen.

George sitting in an arm chair. She at once grew anxious as to her husband's condition. Mr. George gradually grew inco herent and lapsed into semi consciousness. Thoroughly alarmed, she called her son, Henry George, from an adjoining room.

Frank Stevens was also called in. Mr. George was then unconscious. A call was sent to Dr. Kelly and he came without delay.

Mr. George was still uncon scious. All efforts to revive him failed. Without sign of recognition to those around him, he passed peacefully away at 4:10 o'clock. THE CAREER OF MB.

CanmlHlontr Fornmn Rays Internal Be-eelnra hhow Marked lnrr. Washington, Oct. 80. "It is possible now to form an estimation of the prob able increase of internal revenue re ceipts under the new tariff law," said Commissioner Forman, of the Internal revenue bureau yesterday. Continuing, he said: The Vn-jKV tnrlff ant made two changes In the Internal revenue law.

it abolished the re- hate of 7'4 ccnis upon ech barrel of beer, which had previously been allowed brewers upon the purchaso of their Internal revenue stamp It doubled ths Internal revenue tax udoo ol.arettes. While In AuifUHt there was a decrease of HI.B06.U0 in the areuate receipts from Internal revenue, occasioned by the ex-cesMlre purrba.se of beer stamps during the snonth previous. In anticipation of trie abolisn-meat of the rebate. In September threre was an Increase of la the aggregate re- oeipta. I estimate tbat the government will tfaln this year about IS.OOJ.OOO bv the abolishment of the beer rebate, notwithstand ing the fact that the large brewery companies laid In a heavy stock of old stamps In anticipation.

It Is somewhat difficult to estimate tbe Increase In receipt from cigarettes. We will (tain about K.OJu.OuO, I think, by of the act passed before the tar i IT law was enacted al lowing bottling of spirits In bond. Vor the months of August and September the total Increase in the tax on spirits over the same months of Inst year was t2.w.9l4. -Ml The Increase In the tux on tobacco for these months over the same period last year was 42. The apparent discrepancy between these figures and the aggregate mentioned aoova arises from the decrease In the item of tax on beer, as explained.

Tows to Carry Out Ills Dead Father's Pledges and Solemnly Dedicates Bis Life to That Effect. Xkw York, Xov. A mourning city, a grief-stricken people, yesterday showed honor to the man who had fallen in the battle for what he believed to be the right, Henry George, apostle of the single tax, leader of the new Jeffersonian democracy, stricken on the eve of the election, was honored as no private citizen of America waa honored before. The body of Henry George lay in state yesterday in the Grand Central Palace and 30,000 people reverently passed the casket and looked upon the face of the dead philosopher. Public griefs have been many in the great metropolis of the western hemisphere; many have been sincerely mourned, but none, save he who went to eternal rest after having served hia people as a leader of soldiers and.

as chief executive of the land, had laid at his bier such evidences of public grief, widespread sorrow and sincere grief as was laid at the bier of Henry George. No one would permit a reminder that he had been a candidate for public office and had been, carrying on a bitter warfare on those he believed were enemies of the publio weal, no one recalled the strong words of denunciation that fell from his lips, while on the political rostrum; he was remembered only as a man who so loved the people that he gave his life for them. From the dawn till far into the night the outward manifestation of grief lasted, thousands gazed upon the familiar, beloved features, cold in death, yet smiling serenely as in sleep, other thousands heard stirring orations, magnificent eulogies upon the martyr dead. In every temple of God wherever men gathered to worship or gathered to bear lectures and philosophy taught, garlands of praise were bestowed upon the memory of the revered dead. In the vast auditorium where the dead rested, inspired men, teachers of all faiths, Jews, Christians, Catholics and Episcopalians, with hearts wrung with pain, spoke words which confessedly fell far short of the great waves of emotion that sought to find utterance.

ot a dissenting voice was heard to the declaration that Henry George was a lover of the people, who he believed were being oppressed, and that he gave his life that humanity might live- The eulogies uttered, the day "gone, the streets became filled with people who wished to see the funeral cortege as it passed in solemn pocession down New York's greatest streets, thence across Brooklyn bridge and through Ilrooklyn's streets to the Brooklyn city halL There the public gave over the body to the family and the casket was taken to the modest home in Fort Hamilton from which they were borne to their final resting place in Greenwood this morniug. At the lowest estimate people saw the casket as it wended its way to that point where the publio was compelled to stand aside in reverence and sympathy while the family claimed its own.

Blue Mountain Forest park, as the preserve is called, includes parts of four townships, and lies near the enterpris ing borough of ewporton thetoncord Claremont branch of the Boston Maine railroad. It is said to be the big gest game park in the world, except one owned by the duke of Sutherland in Scotland, and one or two royal demesnes on the continent.

Of course in making comparisons one must exclude those immense public preserves, as big as provinces, where the British government of India seeks to save the ele phant from extinction, and our own na tional parks in the west The name of Blue mountain attaches to the entire spur of hills which bisects the park, while Croydon designates its highest shoulder rising to the height of nearly 3,000 feet The steep and densely wooded heights of Croydon, curving like a hump, break the ky line in the shape of a camel's back; near by skirting canyon opens a carriage route across the mountain. In characteris tics it belongs rather to the Green mountain than to the White mountain range, though it seems disconnected from both. The verdure of an immense forest of spruce, fir, hemlock, pine. birch, beech and maple infolds it to the very cre6t with here and there a brown patch of clearing. The greater part of the Corbm inclosure consists of aban doned farms, many of them already beginning to bristle with saplings; for the woods are on the march.

Dis mantled houses with windows and doors gaping like holes in a skull, ramshackle barns, rotten and weather-stained, the wreck of stone fences thickset with bramble- these meet the eve at every turn. The general outline of the park is that of an ellipse with respective dia meters of about 4V- and 11 miles, and the surface is cut diagonally by a back bone of mountain running northeast The lower slopes and the meadow levels are diversified with brooks and swamp land, while extensive groves of second growth profusely dot the surface. It is in these that the wild swinei the progenitors of which clashed their tusks against the boar pears of medieval kings and barons, root and propagate their kind with a fecundity which is a marvel to the keepers. One can Bcarcely grasp the bigness of the park by figures. But let the read er fancy a demesne considerably more than double the size of Boston and all its suburbs; 30 times the area of Central park, New York; almost ten times bigger than Fairmount park, Philadel phia; or 14 times the acreage of the whole park system of Chicago.

Roads, many of them thoroughfares of days gone by, variously intersect the inclosure, and an excellent carriage track crosses the park from east to west through the picturesque notch. On the western side the declivity is more eloping and open, but has the same egreeable diversity of scene. A wire fence, partly mesh, partly barbed, nearly eight feet in height and 27 miles in, circuit, confines the four-footed tenants within its steel bar rier. The same posts which support the fence nntil the trees which have been set shall have grown to take their place, string a telephone connecting the nine substations at the different gates with the central station, the home Of the superintendent, the Corbin villa, and the town of Newport. The keep ers and other employes of the park vary from 25 to 50, according to the season of tne year.

It need scarcely be said that the needs of attendance com pel a vigilance which never rests. Mere ly to watch the fence, lest it should have parted somewhere by accident or wanton malice, requires an inspection twice a week. O. T. Ferris, In Century.

But the other day he tripped up in more senses han one, and this was the way of it. Walking toward the Union depot the man went across the Van Buren street bridge, which is not as other bridges are, but opena on the bascule or jack- knife principle. Mr. Whitman had reached the center of the structure, when he felt it tremble beneath him. The bridge slowly rose to an almost vertical position, and" Farmer Whitman slid to the bottom of the structure.

landing in a sitting posture on the hard, unpadded cement of Van Buren street. While he was sliding down the Incline he was making up his mind bow to meet the robbera that he felt sure were waiting somewhere near the bottom. Had he not read of those wonderful trapdoors in the dives of New York and of the chutes by which the victim was gently sent into the midet of a gang of desperadoes? Whitman calleO "Police, police," in his terror of the en gine of robbery that he supposed the bridge to be. Ofiicer O'DonnelL of the De.splalnes street station, came to his rescue, and at first Whitman thought the bluecoat a part of the robber gang. He had read that usually after the bunko has been worked an- imitation policeman ap pears.

Donnell reassured him, and the farmer was much pleased to find that the jackknife bridge waa a great and beneficent municipal improvement. Queer Advertisement for Six Fingered Peo ple.
